A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230374152A1) outlines a method for treating or managing brain cancer in a subject by administering an IL-13Ra2 peptide and bevacizumab. The method involves measuring the amount of IL-13Ra2-expressing cancer stem cells in the subject, with the administration of the peptide and bevacizumab aimed at reducing these cells. The patent further details various techniques for determining the amount of IL-13Ra2-expressing cancer stem cells, including immunoassays, flow cytometry, imaging, and in vitro assays using different biological samples.

Moreover, the patent describes additional elements of the method, such as measuring the cancer stem cells before administering the treatment, comparing the results to reference samples, and incorporating helper T cell epitopes, adjuvants, and immune response modifiers. The method also includes loading the IL-13Ra2 peptide on dendritic cells and administering the treatment subcutaneously or intra-nodally. The patent specifies that the brain cancer targeted by this method can be glioma or glioblastoma. Additionally, a separate claim in the patent focuses on monitoring the efficacy of the therapy by measuring the IL-13Ra2-expressing cancer stem cells before and after treatment, with efficacy determined by a decrease in these cells post-treatment. The patent emphasizes the importance of targeting IL-13Ra2 and bevacizumab in treating brain cancer and provides a comprehensive approach for assessing and enhancing the effectiveness of the therapy.
